Three stories like three carriages coupled in one train
Jim Jarmusch / USA, Japan / 1989 / 113 min / English / Czech subtitles

A Japanese couple on an expedition to find the spirit of rock’n’roll, an Italian woman trying to get her husband’s coffin transported to Rome and a trio of troublemakers who end up in the same place. Tragicomic tales from a hotel in Memphis link the fates of characters from different corners of the world. The city of Elvis Presley, brought to life by Jim Jarmusch, becomes the backdrop for slow transitions between romance, absurdity, a ghost story and black humour. What do the main characters have in common? A foreigners’ view of America and accidental meetings that connect people more than they seem.
